Hello, Mophir!

Strange, I just decided to check in today after not being on the site for years.

Re: A planted tank without snails is this possible???

If you have sails, in spite of your best efforts, one option would be to introduce fish that eat snails. They could merely be temporary inhabitants. Trade them in or give them away once they take care of the problem. I've used Opaline Gouramis (Trichogaster trichopterus) for that before, as well as ...

Custom A.G.E. acrylic aquarium (Dallas) ordered through North Waco Tropical Fish: 96"L X 18"W X 14"T, 1/2" thickness; custom wooden ...

Advice

If this is constipation, then peas would help, yes. I've never had this issue with my fish, but I've been told that you can introduce such after a 24-48 hour fast. I hope this is the case and that the treatment works for you in short order. Best of luck!

You're welcome, Emma. Your shop looks just FANTASTIC! In a way, I'm glad that you remain over the Pond. I'd be spending too much of my paycheck at your shop! :lol:

Thanks.

That was fun to watch! Thanks.

What would it look like if you panned out a bit, didn't move the camera, and just let the critters swim around?

Perhaps you could sell this as a screen saver. :wink:

Re: Black Sand

I know someone else on here has used black sandblasting sand in aquaria (think it was Joe Loach) with success. Dojos will dig a lot given the right substrate. I didn't think you would remember me, Martin. :D In the past, I've mixed regular white silica sand with black Estes "Marine Sand," which is ...
